RCB roped in Dinesh Karthik as the batting coach and mentor for IPL 2025. It is a big and bold move because DK played in the recent IPL. Now, a few more players could be in line to repeat this in IPL 2025. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players in IPL 2024 who could become coaches in IPL 2025 like Dinesh Karthik.
1) MS Dhoni
It is still not sure if MS Dhoni will be able to play in IPL 2025. That said, it would be a major shock if he does play, especially because of his knee issues. Hence, he could retire.
Of course, he will remain at CSK if he retires. The question will be to find out in which capacity. He could get the role of a coach, mentor or even the director of cricket. This will be an interesting position for MS Dhoni and will keep his fans excited.
2) Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra is one of the players in IPL 2024 who could become coaches in IPL 2025 like Dinesh Karthik. Mishra did not get to play a lot of games in IPL 2024.
Nevertheless, he is one of the best spinners that the tournament has seen. With his experience, he can easily be a spin-bowling coach. A side like LSG can also hire him. Therefore, he is on this list.
3) Wriddhiman Saha
The next cycle of IPL is likely to be longer than the usual three years. With franchises now investing in academies, a specialist coach for wicket-keepers could become a requirement.
Wriddhiman Saha is one of the best technically good wicket-keepers that India has seen. It is for this very reason that he was the keeper for India in Tests for a long time. A few teams could be interested in his services to coach the young wicket-keepers.
